Exercise device

Abstract

An exercise device includes a pair of spaced parallel base members adapted for support on a horizontal floor surface. A cross member is secured transversely between midpoints of the base members and a pair of spaced parallel vertical posts extend upwardly from central positions on the base members. A plurality of diagonal braces extend between the base members and an associated post. A plurality of pairs of attachment loops are secured at various spaced locations on the posts and on transverse cross members for attachment of extension members. The extension members may be formed from an elastomeric rubber material or by a metallic coil spring. In either case, a clip is provided on one end of each of the extension members and a hand grip is provided on an opposite end. The exercise device can be disassembled for portability and allows two individuals to perform simultaneous workouts in a minimum amount of space.

What is claimed as being new and desired to be protected by LETTERS PATENT of the U.S. is as follows: 
     
       1. An exercise device, comprising: a pair of spaced parallel base members adapted for support on a horizontal surface;   a cross member secured transversely between midpoints of said base members;   a pair of spaced parallel vertical posts, each of said vertical posts extending upwardly from an upper central position on each one of said base members, and wherein each of said vertical posts having a height of about 6 feet;   a pair of diagonal brace members, each of said diagonal brace members extending between each ends of each one of said base members and an associated one of said vertical posts;   a first pair of upstanding attachment loops secured in spaced relation on said cross member;   a second pair of attachment loops secured in vertical alignment on front faces of said vertical posts, wherein one of said second pair of attachment loops secured to one of said vertical posts and another of said second pair of attachment loops secured to another of said vertical posts;   a third pair of attachment loops secured in vertical alignment on side faces of said vertical posts, above said second pair of attachment loops, wherein one of said third pair of attachment loops secured to one of said vertical posts, and another of said third pair of attachment loops secured to another of said vertical posts;   said first, second, and third pairs of attachment loops extending in three orthogonal directions;   a first pair of flanges, one of said first pair of flanges formed on an upper end of one of said vertical posts, and another of said first pair of flanges formed on an upper end of another one of said vertical posts;   a transverse top bar having opposite ends terminating in a second pair of flanges, one of said second pair of flanges disposed at one of said opposite ends of said transverse top bar and another of said second pair of flanges disposed at another of said opposite ends of said transverse top bar, said second pair of flanges dimensioned for aligned engagement with said first pair of flanges, said top bar disposed at a vertical elevation about equal to the height of an intended user;   a plurality of threaded fasteners removably securing said first and second pair of flanges, whereas said transverse top bar extending above and between said vertical posts;   a fourth pair of attachment loops secured on a bottom face of said top bar;   and   at least one pair of elastic extension members, each of said extension members having a first end terminating in a clip for engagement with a selected one of said attachment loops and an opposite end terminating in a hand grip for providing a wide variety of exercises.   
     
     
       2. The exercise device of claim 1, wherein said extension members are formed from a rubber material. 
     
     
       3. The exercise device of claim 1, wherein said extension members are formed from a coil spring.
